Real wire management, AND NO MODDING!

How's this? My case used to look horrible, but I decided to fix it up. Nothing wonderful, just not cable spaghetti.

Heres some before pics.

And now here's what we are left with. The cables in the drive bays are fine, you dont see them because the side panel covers almost everything.

I dont have a dremel, and yes thats black paper that I glued so you dont see the cables. When I end up buying a dremel and some spray paint, the paper goes out, and I will put some holes to route the wires through the back. Will also paint the whole thing black.

Yeah, I also have to take care of that little stray black wire on top, I ran out of twist/zip ties.

lol pretty ghetto. your case looks like its pretty hard to do cable management with. great job tho how does it look like with the window on? in my nzxt alpha the window shows pretty much all of the case but somehow i have managed to hide every wire from my view.

How did you mount the fan over the motherboard?

Yeah, its a horrible PITA to do wire management, there is almost no way to route the wires behind the case without cutting into the case, it is almost sealed off behind the motherboard tray, and you only get like 3 centimeters to stuff wires. Nowhere near enough for the giant umbilical cord. Here is the case (not mine) with the panel on.

Edit: For the fan trick, I managed to make it hold between the inlet tube for the cpu block, and the umbilical cord of wires. :D Very happy that it actually works, saved some time and money. Could have used the old coathanger method though, but its ugly.

Stuff that spaghetti behind the motherboard. I want to see 5 inches max from each cable! :slap:

if you think is hard, try the old thermaltake armor full tower. good job though

There's nowhere to stuff it lol. If you are willing to help, that'll be great lol. :D

I hope me and my GF can do a good job with our wires on my new PC, am using a LIAN LI PC-P80 case.

Lian li cases are easy to do wire management on, if you have some time on your hands. Good luck.
